About this listen

A Londoner enters a world of guns, bombs, and assassinations until the Special Branch of the police and military intelligence step in.

Frank’s years as a peaceful football fan and socialist end abruptly when he turns to hooliganism and British nationalism. In the menacing drinking clubs of Belfast, he takes orders from prominent Loyalist paramilitaries. His crimes escalate, until the media and authorities uncover his secretive and dangerous existence.

Enjoyed the audiobook. Only disappointment, is as a Londoner it would have been good to hear a Londoner voice narrate. That is just me being picky.

Thoroughly enjoyed the book. Good insight into the football casual scene and the Loyalist scene.
However, it really needed a British narrator.
No harm to the geezer but you can’t have someone narrating a book if they can’t pronounce football teams like Celtic and Feyenoord.

Good book shame about narrator
